SeaWorld killer whale Tilikum dies

[mishmash]

Orcas usually live up to 80 years in the wild. You can see how bent it’s dorsal fin is. Those tanks aren’t fit for suck large and intelligent animals

Poor Tilly, abducted at 2 years old, kept in the worst enclosures being beaten up daily, then thrown into seaworld to die years later of a lung infection, after years of isolation.

The board of directors for seaworld should be arrested and sent to jail.

They killed that whale. They didn’t want to deal with his unpredictability any longer.

Poor Tilikum
I'm glad he's finally free from the horror that his life became. RIP

[UnaRose]

Rest in peace Tilikum. May those who imprisoned and abused you all your life get the karma they deserve.

[ghstxgurl]

They literally worked him to death. He’s finally free now 🙏🏼

[Trippybunni]

They stole him from his mom in the open ocean and put him to work for 30 years feeding him dead fish and gelatin and kept him in a tank that wasn’t long enough or deep enough didn’t provide proper protection from the sun and he didn’t have a pod because the female whales bullied him because normally male wales stay on the outside of the pod in the wild he had a miserable life at least he only killed three people if I was him I would’ve killed more being stuck in there RIP Tilly

I seen Tilikum before at SeaWorld when I was a small child, and now, he is dead, this saddens me. SeaWorld must be held accountable for what they cause to this tortured giant.

[spnap]

Although he killed many people it wasn’t his fault i loved that whale more than any other in the park

If only sea world went back to helping the animals and not using them as show horses 😔

RIP Precious Tilicum 🥺💔 swim free in big ocean in the sky!

Sea World killed Tilikum! By isolated him to loneliness! No touch or interaction like he was used to. He was depressed he didn't know want he did wrong. Orcas are the top predator of the ocean. After he harmed just one trainer Sea World should've made a sanctuary for him in the ocean! They are are smart if they can adapt to being in a concrete tank after being taken from there home he could adapt to the ocean again. No one should go to these shows anymore! It's cruel!

They didn't become his family, They reported this like they were HELPING HIM. But they HURT HIM. Big difference.

[DrPlagueReborn]

I hate sea world, they've done so many things to this poor orca.

1. They took him away from his mother at the age of 2

2. The put him in basically a fish bowl

3. They tried to force him to breed with orcas of different species, leading him to be rejected and the females abused him

[marishkaspirit]

Tillikum was abused his whole life....there's no excuse from SeaWorld. i truly hope they got out of bussines.

[sharjitachowdhury]

He should have been retired if not released long time ago. Shame on SeaWorld.

[raynawu]

Glad he’s finally free! Let the orcas back to ocean!

[gachagoddesskim]

At least Tilikum is finally swimming free and happily wherever he is in the afterlife

[Creatorofdathings]

He’s finally been free for years. I don’t believe a word that Seaworld says they work the whales and dolphins to death they really do! Winter never deserve to die Shamu talcum it’s because of us. We really need to do better as humans.
